The Learning Experience - Newark

I had the most wonderful time at The Learning Experience in Newark, thanks to Adriana, Jessica and their wonderful crew! I was welcomed and amazed by their kind and nurturing environment from the time I walked in. The commitment to the children's growth and development is absolutely admirable, and the enthusiasm for teaching shines through in every contact. The compassionate and attentive character of the employees show that they sincerely enjoy what they do. During my visit, I observed how the children were engaged in various educational activities, and it was heartwarming to see the joy on their faces. The facilities are clean, safe, and thoughtfully designed to stimulate young minds. I was thoroughly impressed with the well-rounded curriculum and the emphasis on fostering creativity and critical thinking. Not only did the staff ensure a stimulating learning environment, but they also encouraged positive values and good manners, which I believe are equally important for a child's development. I highly recommend The Learning Experience in Newark to any parent or guardian seeking an exceptional early learning center for their little ones. Adriana and her team have created an exceptional place for children to grow, learn, and thrive. Kudos to you all, and thank you for the wonderful experience! Keep up the fantastic work! 👏👏👏

While my child is in daycare, I want her to be safe, happy, and learning. My daughter gets all 3 at TLE. The couple of times that I had an issue with something, I was able to effectively communicate with the staff and things were handled. They're always so nice, always willing to talk and they always practice patience with me and my daughter.

My son has been here from the day it opened and it has been the worst experience. I’ve taught all over Newark for 22 yrs and I’ve never experienced the constant turn over with staff, the disorganization in the classrooms, the non-compliance with the curriculum. My son has been burned here(physically) and today I walked in his class with two teachers sitting talking to find him earring off the floor (which was filthy). When I spoke to the people in the room about classroom management they shrugged their shoulders and said my 2yr old should do better . I hate this place . It’s unsafe . I’m not finished with this either .I can’t post the video of food all over the carpet and under the tables … which happened to be 10 minutes after snack was over and all the children were playing.

Listen I’m going to leave my honest review.. for a $135 registration fee and the amount program for parents has to pay here and it being new, I expected more from this place especially when it comes to the teachers and the teachers professionalism. I had to take my son out of here twice. The first time was in sept 2022 when I needed an after school program for him, I took him out because he complained every day about the teachers being mean to him. I don’t tolerate my sons being misunderstood or disrespected or ABUSED , so I took him out. So now let’s fast forward to summer 2023 I needed a summer program for my 6 year old and thankfully enough this center has a summer program for 6-8 years old right ..? Okay so I spend ANOTHER $135 to get my son in thinking he’s going to have a great summer here filled with activities and fun things to do.. because that’s what they promote on IG and stuff right ? My experience here has been the opposite and not positive at all. His first second in the door the teacher remembered him from his first time there and she just had the most unexciting energy. I did not feel like he was welcomed at all and felt like he was a bother to her. It was all in her energy. His FIRST day he complained to me that his teacher kept yelling at him and wouldn’t let him play with toys.. I said okay maybe you need to listen when it’s time to put the toys away. I told him the next day he needs to listen… but things just got worse as the days went by.. his second day he cried to me begging to take him out of this school and to find another place for him. It really broke my heart because why would he just break down like that? Day 3 of him being there he told me his teacher wouldn’t let him do art , and wouldn’t let him play with toys but would let the other kids play and do art.. my son can be very combative at times when he sees other kids able to do things but he can’t. He ended up grabbing a toy anyway after his teacher told him no and the teacher went over to him and kicked the blocks he was building everywhere. He said he was so scared he had to hide behind a sofa. My son told me that the teacher pushed his arm in a very aggressive way and when he explained these actions to me I knew I had to do something ASAP. I went to talk to Jessica and Adriana the next day & they told me they would observe them, but it seems like everything was left on deafs ears b/c nothing was done. There should be consequences for teachers who bully little kids. From day one the teacher would call him words like “stubborn” I know he can be stubborn but don’t these teachers go to school or have education on how to handle a student who becomes stubborn? I don’t believe none of them took psychology. My child shuts down when hes getting yelled at and treated unfairly so of course he gets stubborn he is human. Maybe if these teachers had a kinder approach he would be glad to obey by their orders. After the meeting I started to get phone calls home after his first week there. Phone calls full of lies of things they said he did but when I ask him about it he has a whole different story of what actually happened. week 2 they called me today & told me another parent came today & said my son cut his hair and that this other student had a bald spot and that I had to pick up my son because his behavior is “disturbing and scary” I had to laugh at that because how? He’s the sweetest most helpful boy in my life. Those TEACHERS ARE DISTURBING AND SCARY! Sorry! They said I had to pick him up today & that it was his last day there. When I went to pick him up I asked my son INFRONT of them if he cut another kids hair and guesss what they said ??? She said she spoke to the parent and it was actually another kid who cut the kids hair. Like why did you even call me ? Why call me and kick him out and he didn’t even cut anyone’s hair. I had enough of this school and I’m done spending my hard worked money here and I will never bring any of my sons or future children here ever idc how new it is, these teachers are not right for bullying my son like that.
